The walls have come tumblin' down. But not without a lot of coaxing, urging, and back breaking labor!
First step: prep. I spent a day solo moving all the furniture and tools into two aisles so that the walls were clear. I felt very
empowered after the move.The place was a mess, as you see.

 |
| Better...two aisles. |
 |
| Wall almost clear... |
 |
| Except for the massive piano harp. That will take two. |
 |
| Shrouded for now. |
Step two: start ripping out plaster and lathe. Scaffolding set up, tools assembled. Masks on, ready, set, go!
Here's the "time lapse" of the wall coming down.
 |
| Grime doesn't pay! |
 |
| We can breathe easy now! |
Third step: down in the trenches, shoveling plaster and lathe, taking it out to the dumpster, and back for more.
 |
Tired. Empowered! |
One wall down, three to go. That's enough for one weekend...
Step four: Time for some eats and drinks! Step it up, Captain Barbeque!
 |
| "With or without plaster dust?" "Without, please!" |
